MA/CT Catering recommendation - Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park

Sierra, on July 18, 2017 at 1:35 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

MA/CT Brides! I'm getting married at Eolia Mansion in 2018 and am looking for recommendations from other brides that have gone through the process. I'd love to hear who you contracted with and how you decided on a caterer. I'm personally not looking for the cheapest option, but the caterer that provides the best value and overall experience. I'll be planning my wedding remotely and want to have a good idea of which caterers to meet when I visit the area. It's also important to me that the caterer we end up choosing has a day of wedding coordinator. I'm also interested in hearing from any brides that have already had their wedding at Eolia or in the Mystic, CT area. I'm having my wedding on a Friday and would love recommendations on wedding weekend timeline, fun rehearsal dinner ideas, local hotel, bus transportation, attraction ideas!

Thank you!

Sierra

    Hi! We just got married in Mystic (Latitude 41) and have plenty of recommendations! If your interested, you can email me (******@*****.*** -no worries it doesn't have personal info tied to that email, I just use it for things like this and coupons, mostly store coupons haha). We had a Monday wedding, but can totally give you all the deets. We also planned from afar (live in FL and grew up in CT)!

    The Aqua Turf Club does off-premise catering and the food/service is amazing!

    ETA: you may want to open your post up to vendors. They can't advertise, but many photographers, DJs, etc. in the area can give you good recommendations of caterers they've seen!

    ETA: just read your whole post. Dattco provides affordable transportation around the state. In Mystic you are close to the casinos, CT Tigers baseball (Norwich), Misquamicut beach in RI, and the Mystic Aquarium/Seaport. The Hilton Garden Inn in Preston is gorgeous and fairly affordable, but it books up quickly in the summer due to its close proximity to the casinos. It might be fun to do a rehearsal dinner at one of the nice restaurants at one of the casinos!

    We're getting married at the Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown and are using David Alan Catering in Berlin. They are absolutely incredible and will work with your budget. We are getting an endless amount of delicious food for seriously half the price of what other caterers were quoting us.

    Edit: The Mystic Inn is beautiful!

    This was my caterer. http://www.peppersartfulevents.com/

    They were awesome, work with our venue frequently and coordinated everything for the reception. They also manage things like linen and chair rentals and coordinated all of that, which made it much easier for me (we were out of state too). The food was amazing and we got great comments from multiple guests about it too. They definitely know what they're doing and handled our cake, rentals, food, set up and takedown.

    Thank you for all the replies! I should have specified that the venue I'm booking requires the use of 6 approved caterers:

    1. A Thyme to Cook

    2. Culinary Concerts Inc.

    3. Cloud Nine Catering

    4. Gourmet Galley Catering, LLC

    5. Ivy's Simply Homemade

    6.Mystic Market

    If anyone's booked any of these caterers, I'd love to hear from you!

    I appreciate the feedback on the local area! I'll definitely look into the bus company and local attractions! Jackie - I'll e-mail you, would love to hear how your wedding weekend went and what other services you used in Mystic. Thank you!
